Wondering how to keep your ssh processes after you terminate a session?

Steps by steps guide

• ssh into your remote server, type screen then start any long running process you want.
  • For example, watching a directory for new files watch -d ls -lAhFv <dir>
• Press Ctrl-A (^-A) then Ctrl-D (^-D)
  • This will detach your screen session but leave your processes running. You can now log out of the remote server.
• When you want to resume your session, log on again and type screen -r
  • This will resume your screen session, and you can see the output of your long running process.
